Analyst: Doomsday Nuclear Torpedo Leak Gives Insight to Russian Strategic Mindset, Ballistic Missile Defense Anxiety

A proposed Russian submarine launched doomsday weapon — the existence of which was almost certainly leaked by the Kremlin — gives clues to the Russian mindset for the development of new strategic weapons in the face of the West’s increasing ballistic missile defense capability and Russia’s shrinking national assets, a naval analyst told USNI News on Thursday.
The Status-6 weapon was revealed on Wednesday during a Russian broadcast of a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and military leaders in Sochi and a screengrab of the weapon was widely circulated following the broadcast.
The weapon is allegedly a robotic mini-submarine” capable of speeds 100 knots with a range of 6,200 miles, to “destroy important economic installations of the enemy in coastal areas and cause guaranteed devastating damage to the country’s territory by creating wide areas of radioactive contamination, rendering them unusable for military, economic or other activity for a long time,” according to a translation of the .
Immediately before the reveal of the weapon Putin was discussing how the emerging U.S. ballistic missile defense (BMD) network in Europe was “an attempt to undermine the existing parity in strategic nuclear weapons and essentially to upset the whole system of global and regional stability,” according to the BBC.
Russia has been highly critical of the creation of — one in Romania and one in Poland — that are land-based versions of the BMD capability found on some U.S. Arleigh Burke guided missile destroyers (DDG-51). In addition to Aegis Ashore, the U.S. has recently completed the basing of a quartet of BMD capable Burkes in Rota, Spain that are part of the Obama administrations European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) to BMD.

Eric Wertheim — — told USNI News on Thursday the reveal of Status-6 was telling as to the current Russian arms development mindset.
“It shows that they’re thinking about non-conventional weapons in line with Cold War era thinking,” he said.
“The West is developing weapons — like the Small Diameter Bomb — that create a smaller more targeted effect. This type of weapon is exactly the opposite.”
The differences in the strengths and weaknesses of the Russian defense industrial base are much more extreme than the West’s.
For example, the Russian’s are second only to the U.S. in the development of nuclear submarines and their latest attack submarine design has earned praise from U.S. Navy officials.
However, the Russians lag behind the West in the manufacture of maritime gas turbines and Russian Navy’s surface ship construction is suffering as a result.

A weapon like Status-6 would play into Russia’s current military strengths and provide the Kremlin with a strategic deterrent that would bypass the growing American acumen at BMD, he said.
The weapon also comes with the benefit of being relatively inexpensive. While Putin has pledged to boost military spending, the last year has seen a massive drop .
“They want to develop weapons that are cheap but also effective,” Wertheim said.
The reveal of the weapon also allows the Russians to display a degree of self confidence and capability as Russia begins to rebuild its high-end military capability after decades of neglect.
“They need a saber to rattle,” Wertheim said.
“Whether or not this turns out to be real or a figment of their imagination remains to be seen but it shows where they’re going with their weapons development and that they’re thinking outside the box.”
Interesting! Very Interesting!
I think the analysis by The Saker is more accurate:
These things were investigated in the 'fifties and 'sixties. The remark about radio-activity gives the game away. The damage done by the tsunami caused by a well places explosion on a coastal city and its environs some hundreds of kilometres away would far exceed the damage due to radiation in the following hundred years. The solution is the end of the possession of nuclear weapons as signed for in the 1969 Test Ban Treaty, not the deployment of anti missile systems.

LOL delft I don't know what you read but it appears the Kremlin "leaked" what's inside a dubious article from September 8, 2015 5:00 am
Russia Building Nuclear-Armed Drone Submarine
so have fun, but I won't post anymore about what I translated yesterday as
"automotive underwater vehicle"
Few operationals maintenance problems, no for reactor especialy, poor maintenance since 20 years.
Pacific Fleet have her 3 under repair ! better for NSF on 5 available 4.
Launching in salvo to validate its reliability, IOC in fact.
Seems finaly SS-N-32 worck but very long ! it is not the Trident II.
The 2 first Borey are armed with the 3rd soon after can go for Pacific.

FORBIN beat me to it
it's the video released yesterday of the first two-missilessalvo launched from
while submerged (from what I figured, a sub has to plan very carefully for salvo-firing from under the water) and according to the caption of the video, the test was fully successful (Bulavas hit the shooting range, which is typically located in the other side of Russia
EDIT
from ... my guess is the Barents Sea
